WATCH: Announcers go nuts as squirrel scampers into end zone during Louisville game

Published:
A squirrel had a bit more success reaching the end zone than Kent State did on Saturday in Louisville.
In the first half at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, a squirrel was seen running down the middle of the field and eventually reached the end zone before it was captured. The commentators on Fox Sports enjoyed the appearance as they joked about “his pad level” and did an impression of the “Call to the Post.”
Once the squirrel reached the end zone after a reported 47-yard run, it appeared out of breath and stopped to take a breather.
Play-by-play commentator Wes Durham and analyst James Bate called it as if it was any other play. Bate with great enthusiasm declared, “Oh man, he’s my favorite squirrel.”
The goal line reach… Who did it better?
